The frequency of Ontario pedestrian accidents increases with poor weather and poor lighting conditions. Poor weather and reduced visibility are soon to become the norm as we move into fall and winter weather in Ontario. Iacobelli Law Firm reminds pedestrians and drivers to use extra caution, especially during evenings and on days with poor visibility. Pedestrians should always exercise caution when crossing the street, and should not assume that drivers see them. Relying on traffic signals alone is not enough, as some driver's disobey the rules of the road. Make sure the way is clear and that vehicles are stopped before you cross the road. It is also a good idea to wear bright colored or reflective clothing when walking at night or during poor weather.
